4.3.6. Removing Agents (Nodes)

Removing a node from the monitoring list can be done by deleting the node from

SIM or removing it from the cluster. To remove a node from SIM, simply select the

node by clicking the corresponding checkbox in SIM’s main table and click “Delete”.

To remove a node from a cluster, the user will need to use the HP Cluster

Configuration Management application. After doing this, use Refresh PE… to update

this change to Performance Essentials.

NOTE: The above process does NOT remove the agent software from the

corresponding server nor does it stop the collection on the server. To stop collection

on the servers: on the NonStop obey the stoppe script (obey stoppe), on the Linux

server, kill the collator, collector, PAMAuth and License handler processes.

To remove the agent software from the servers: on the NonStop purge the files in

the installation subvolume, on Linux run rpm –e simagent-0.1.i386.
